Overall Satisfaction with Business Intelligence Discoverer

OBIEE is a great tool by Oracle and we are using this tool to generate reports. We have more than 1000 users using this tool to analyze and build reports. Users use this tool Airforce-wide to generate multiple reports. We just migrated from Oracle Discoverer to OBIEE. This is being used across the organization and we have not seen issues so far.
  • Users were able to build complex queries and generate reports in a customize way.
  • The most important benefit of this tool is users can drag and drop the fields they want to use.
  • Users are able to schedule the reports and will generate and ready for the output.
  • It would be useful if users could be allowed to write subqueries.
  • It would be helpful if there was a way for users to download the reports on their PC.
  • Most of the functionality is awesome and I would like to see more graphics in the reports.
We selected this tool because it is easy to create an end-user layer which is the repository in the database. The data that is being used is from the datamart which we have built on a daily basis. This tool was selected because it is a web-based and available 24/7.
This tool is well suited for organizations that need to generate reports and need to be able to do so daily or monthly. The Discover tool, which is now an OBIEE tool is very robust and easy for users to operate on a daily basis. This is a web-based tool and maintenance is very easy.
